Tell Us Your Good Deed

I teach college students to get out of their own heads and see that there is more to life than just going through the motions. I do this through teaching about what James Madison calls "factions" and how the American Constitution is designed to get us beyond our own private interests and work for the common good. A great nation should not hides its flaws, but also cannot ignore the good, selfless acts its citizens have done. We're not a perfect nation, but we're striving to improve all the time. We can work with that...

Why are you participating?

To join others in showing that more unites us than divides us. If we can get beyond labels, political and otherwise, to see people as people, commonality will make the world a better place. We're not defined by our labels, but we're united by our diversity.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I love people and the diversity of the human race. I love to help and serve others, especially those in need. As a Professor of Biochemistry, I have a unique opportunity to work with students on a daily basis. I teach them about the chemical basis of life. Life is always beautiful!

Why are you participating?

I always marvel at the diversity of life. If we all focus on all the different talents that we have and use them to help each other, the world can be a better place.
